Jollyfine start by everyone so far this month, wish I had something better to join in with.

I have just received this, only 80 produced, so pretty scarce.

Nice one Paul!!

A 1937 Swedish RR OS for the 1915 Chaplin film, A Burlesque On Carmen. Even tho a later RR, I really like the vivid color and caricature artwork of Chaplin and the way the cane wraps around to the left of his face.

The artwork reminds me of that done by Al Hirschfeld.

The artist here is Bjorne.

Nice posters Jeff you sure know how to pick em

Cracking Chaplin there Jeff. As you say, the colours and the cane.

Paul, is that SW a quad?

paul waines · « **Reply #81 on:** January 18, 2016, 11:25:43 AM »

Thanks Jason.

Yes Simon it's a full size Quad. They were printed up to register sales, a sort of in house competition, hence there was only one per Cinema printed, total of 80 across the UK.

Sort of unrelated. But have you seen there is a chap on ebay selling a similar version of the SPECTRE teaser quad from Cineworld cinemas, replete with competition info. The posters are in terrible condition, but in the absence of anything similar...

He also had a similarly terrible condition teaser 1 Sheet (b/w), with Coming Soon in IMAX verbiage at the bottom, which I had suspected must have existed, but never really found. He had one. But awful condition. I found myself intrigued, nonetheless.

Never noticed Simon, though I've not been looking much of late due to funds..

That artwork caught my eye also, Tob.
I believe it is a 1988 COO RR poster for The Wild Swans, a 1959 Soviet-animated version of the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale about a princess whose brothers are turned into swans by their evil stepmother.

Great posters all, Sean!

I think this also is a really nice looking poster, too Sean. Congrats on the pickup!

Ted, one side note /discovery about this poster and the associated film. This is not a RR poster for the early 60s animated version of The Wild Swans. This poster is for the 1987 live version, titled Metsluiged (the Estonian pronunciation of Wild Swans), and was directed by Helle Karis. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0296589/combined). Thanks, too, to EMP Matt for the additional info, as well.

I couldn't find the entire film on youtube, but did locate what looks like the trailer:

(the embedded video doesnt play here).

This was a Xmas gift from my sister. I've never seen this film, so it was a great gesture on her part.

It's a US insert for the 1950 film, Three Husbands, starring Eve Arden, Ruth Warrick and Howard Da Silva. When i first looked at it, I would have almost sworn that the image of Ms Arden was Lucille Ball, at first glance.

And because she had never researched or bought a poster before, let alone finding one that is 65 years old, I have to say I'm very happy with it.

50s · « **Reply #87 on:** January 23, 2016, 09:51:52 PM »

Good on your sister and you too. That does look like Lucille Ball. Nice!

I'm not familiar with inserts... Is it usual the white space along the bottom?

erik1925 · « **Reply #88 on:** January 23, 2016, 09:58:02 PM »

Steve, I think the width of the bottom border can vary, with some many being narrower. Maybe this was done a bit wider, in case some play dates and times wanted to be added in by a theater owner (?) US inserts measure in at 14 x 36 inches. The top border, too, is a bit wider than either side.

When i asked her how and why she picked this (she got it from an online seller), she said she liked the imagery and that it looked like a fun movie. All the reasons that collectors can go for a certain poster, too!

And I like that it is drawn art rather than cut and pasted photos.

Been a busy month for me, but it seems to be a slow month for acquisitions. You guys all make resolutions to not buy posters?

? haha

Well, how about a Thai Red Sonja.

I make resolutions to buy more posters!

Great artwork. Congrats!!

Could be because Monster A Go Go is only now visiting in 30 day cycles. But I agree things have quietened down a bit. And for me, I have no spare poster money, plus, I'm quite content with the posters I have

Such a nice poster, too bad I cant seem to get a tube in the mail in one piece anymore. Thankfully the design of the poster hides the repeating creases very well.

^ Perfect poster!!!

BFI rocks

Me too, I have had to file a claim/return the last four tubes that came through USPS. Starting to think it is a new directive, crush all round items before processing.

Still a cool poster though, nice pickup.

Love that poster, Dale. Nothing like going back to the original artwork for a latest RR.

Bravo!

At lunchtime yesterday, I stopped into the little 2nd hand store not far from where I was working. Rolled up on another piece of furniture, I found this. It's a poster for the 1995 Festival du Film Policier de Cognac. I decided to snag it as they wanted a buck for it.

From wiki, I read that this was a film festival, held in Cognac, France from 1982-2007 and it focused on the police/crime genre of films. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Festival_du_Film_Policier_de_Cognac )

The festival had some really interesting posters made over those years, too.

The poster is drawn art. At first, I thought the bottom scene was a photo, but it isn't. It measures 19.75 x 27.5 inches.

The poster is also signed and dated. The name looks to be maybe HELKI (?) and is dated '94.

paul waines · « **Reply #99 on:** January 31, 2016, 03:17:53 AM »

Or maybe HELIG ??
